Weekly News Analysis by Roger Shaw notes escalating Nazi air attacks in the Battle of Britain and mass bombing momentum. It reports British strategic strains including pressure in Shanghai and an Italian minor offensive in Africa, reflecting wartime developments for readers.
The column blends world war notes with quirky domestic observations. It cites German air tactics in Britain, claims of heroism by British pilots, and a surprising pivot to North China where British influence remains vast. It also lampoons Oswald Mosley’s fascists, notes internments, and comments on National Guard mobilization and exemptions for married men.
The report traces tensions in Estonia over mistreatment of a Communist minority and details a string of Nazi-era incidents. It mentions Julius Streicher’s death rumors, Danish gun control, and a Danish duel culture, plus a dramatic attack on an actress amid rising anti-Nazi sentiment and wartime turmoil.
